Brilliant race from Keely today, those past failures have made her into an unstoppable force for years to go and it showed today in the way she pulled away from Moora, Dogouma and Maloney in the home straight. 

 

Also for all you :VIN fans out there never fear, because Hanbal Rohan runs in the Men's 800m later on in the meet. He ran a low 1:45 just last month, and given the nature of improvements in the 800m and with Rohan having a similar rate of improvements to Maloney he's got a feasible chance of making the final and potentially bettering Maloney and getting a medal.

She was reinstated, thankfully :) 

For me it's ridiculous. If they disqualified her the first time, what changed that they reversed it now? Is someone else dealing with this? For me it's a circus. It should be like in other disciplines, that the decision is final, e.g. short track.

You sure about that ? on the official site and on WA result system the results are still unchanged

Batocletti deserved this bronze more - she was the only white girl competing here and broke the national record. Kenya already has gold. Besides, Kipiegoen already has 2 Olympic golds from 2012 and 2016. For her this silver means nothing but for the Italian it`s a success of a lifetime, which she probably will never repeat.

There will probably be another 10 counter-protests. I don't understand why they can't simplify it somehow? If they decided to give someone DSQ, it should be strong enough not to make a circus with some appeals. In other sports there are no such situations. In short track, the official result on TV is final. There are no 10 appeals from subsequent appeals.

Who’s Anna Silvander? :mumble:

yeah I probably got the names wrong, I meant his girlfriend, that blondie attending and filming all his races. I don´t know why the name Anna Silvander get stuck in my mind, Silvander is obviously a Swede athlete, now I can not remember the name of his GF, but it something similar. Sorry, most of swede names sound to me so similar :lol:

    • Sinner destroyed Baez and we are still alive If I were Volandri, I would have Sinner and Berrettini play in the doubles. 
    • Fewer people do do this sport compared to the 90s, less money is spent on it, etc. In the case of women, at some point this sport was almost abandoned because of the belief that it was impossible to beat Scandinavia ( the times of Norwegian domination with Bjoergen and Johaug at the forefront). Only in the last 2 years has Markus Cramer been hired, who is gradually rebuilding the men's and women's teams. Suffice it to say that the last medalist of the World Championships for Italy in the women's was Arianna Follis in 2011... I will also remind you that in 2022 Pellegrino and de Fabiani trained with the Russian team, because the rest of the Italian team was in such poor shape that they couldn`t train together 
    • Well that is a totally different question  I too have wondered what happened to Italian cross-country and how there is no one coming for so many years. But it shouldn't take away from the sports where progress has been made. 
    • Where to Watch guide.  Discovery plus in most of Europe       https://www.ucitrackchampionsleague.com/watch-the-races
    • Appetite grows with eating. Especially since it's not like we develop in every winter sport... For example, 20 years ago we were a powerhouse in cross-country skiing and now we have only 1 Pellegrino (34 age) and a few talented youngsters. And let's remember that our performance in Turin was objectively weak for us: only 11 medals in total. Now, when I hear that we will to win 2O+, some discipline must definitely add medals and also compensate for the losses in cross-country skiing, for example.
    • The problem is that this mixed team has never played together since then. There was talk of personal obstacles. I don't know how it`s now.
    • Well that explains why she is wearing more clothes with every passing day.   Nevertheless that team is still one of the best in the world and is a vast improvement on what Italy was doing 10-20 years ago. 
    • Any idea where a full schedule can be found yet? I remember last seasons the website was always godawful in terms of providing that basic kind of information..
    • Constantinis team have made huge improvements since 2022 even if they are not best yet. And Constantini never was world leading in mixed doubles before Beijing olympic either so it is not like she really have lost anything since 2022 either, except not being able to repeat that success.
    • She had health problems yesterday. Nevertheless, after the gold in mixed doubles with Mosaner in 2022, I counted a bit more on her development. I still think that the biggest chance for us in 2026 will be the mixed team, rather than our teams.
